BIPA (BiNet USA)

BIPA, or the Biometric Information Privacy Act, is a law created by BiNet USA that protects individuals' biometric data—such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans. It requires companies to obtain informed consent before collecting or storing this data and to handle it securely. BIPA ensures people are aware of how their biometric data is used, limiting potential misuse or privacy violations. Overall, it aims to give individuals control over their biometric information and promote responsible data practices by organizations.
